		459
		460	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it

		462	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		463	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		464
		465	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		466
		467	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		468	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		469	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		470	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		471	not.
		472
		473	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be

		475
		476	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;

		487	without having to run a program within it.
		488
		489	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		490	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		491	yourself if you want that.
		492
		493	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		494	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		495	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		496
		497	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a

		1061
		1062	The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
		1063
		1064	(modifiers-)key
		1065
		1066	Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>,
		1067	B<Control>, B<NumLock>, B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>,
		1068	B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>,
		1069	B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
		1070
		1071	The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
		1072	whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
		1073	keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
		1074	current application keymap mode state.
		1075
		1076	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
		1077	match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
		1078	key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
		1079	defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
		1080	C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
		1081	themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
		1082	this when this is a problem.
		1083
		1084	The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
		1085	find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
		1086	looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
		1087	the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
		1088	value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
		1089
		1090	As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
		1091	escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
		1092	number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
		1093
		1094	An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
		1095	of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
		1096	interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
		1097	prefixed with C<string:>).
		1098
		1099	The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
		1100	additional prefixes:
		1101
		1102	=over 4
		1103
		1104	=item string:STRING
		1105
		1106	If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
		1107	then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
		1108	terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
		1109	string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
		1110
		1111	URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
		1112
		1113	This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
		1114
		1115	=item command:STRING
		1116
		1117	If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1118	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
		1119	the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
		1120	in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
		1121	most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
		1122
		1123	For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1124	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1125
		1126	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1127
		1128	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1129	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1130	font-switching at runtime:
		1131
		1132	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1133	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1134
		1135	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1136	info):
		1137
		1138	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
		1139	URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
		1140
		1141	=item builtin:
		1142
		1143	The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
		1144	key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
		1145	the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
		1146	bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
		1147
		1148	For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
		1149	@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
		1150	"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1151
		1152	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1153	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1154
		1155	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1156	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1157	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1158
		1159	=item builtin-string:
		1160
		1161	This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
		1162	have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
		1163	difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
		1164	application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in

		1166
		1167	An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
		1168	selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
		1169	would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the

		1171
		1172	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
		1173	URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
		1174
		1175	The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
		1176	combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
		1177	C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
		1178
		1179	Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
		1180	clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
		1181	this:
		1182

		1184	URxvt.keysym.C-S-v: builtin-string:
		1185

		1187
		1188	An action of this form passes the B<STRING> to the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1189	extension of the same name. The extension will be loaded automatically if

		1602	index_88 = (r * 4 + g) * 4 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..3
		1603	index_256 = (r * 6 + g) * 6 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..5
		1604
		1605	The grayscale ramp uses indices 80..87 (232..239), from 10% to 90% in 10%
		1606	steps (1/26 to 25/26 in 1/26 steps) - black and white are already part of

		1608

		1626	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1627
		1628	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1629	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1630
		1631	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1632	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1633	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1634	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1635	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1636	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1637	all ways to specify a colour.
		1638
		1639	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1640	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1641	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1642	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1643	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1644	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1645	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1646
		1647	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1648	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1649	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1650	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1651
		1652	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1653	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1654
		1655	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1656
		1657	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1658	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1659	transparency of course).
		1660
		1661	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1662	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1663	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1664	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1665	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1666	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1667
		1668	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1669	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1670	extension.

882	=item Why do the characters look ugly?
883
884	=item How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts?
885
886	Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is
887	fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of
888	your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want
889	to display.
890
891	B<rxvt-unicode> makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement
892	font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks
893	bad. In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font
894	list, e.g.:
895
896	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -fn basefont,font2,font3...
897
898	When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base
899	font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the
900	next font, and so on.
901
902	The only limitation is that all the fonts must not be larger than the base
903	font, as the base font defines the principial cell size, which must be the
904	same due to the way terminals work.
905
906	=item Why do some chinese characters look so different than others?
907
908	This is because there is a difference between script and language --
909	rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output
910	is, as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode
911	first sees a japanese character, it might choose a japanese font for
912	it. Subseqzuent japanese characters will take that font. Now, many chinese
913	characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
914	non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font
915	-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for
916	japanese characters that are also chinese.
917
918	The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font
919	list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
920	a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
921	first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.
922
923	In the future it might be possible to switch preferences at runtime (the
924	internal data structure has no problem with using different fonts for
925	the same character at the same time, but no interface for this has been
926	designed yet).
927
928	=item Mouse cut/paste suddenly no longer works.
929
930	Make sure that mouse reporting is actually turned off since killing
931	some editors prematurely may leave the mouse in mouse report mode. I've
932	heard that tcsh may use mouse reporting unless it otherwise specified. A
933	quick check is to see if cut/paste works when the Alt or Shift keys are
934	depressed. See @@RXVT_NAME@@(7)
935
936	=item What's with this bold/blink stuff?
937
938	If no bold colour is set via C<colorBD:>, bold will invert text using the
939	standard foreground colour.
940
941	For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make the
942	text blink when compiled with C<--enable-blinking>. with standard
943	colours. Without C<--enable-blinking>, the blink attribute will be
944	ignored.
945
946	On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set high-intensity
947	foreground/background colors.
948
949	color0-7 are the low-intensity colors.
950
951	color8-15 are the corresponding high-intensity colors.
952
953	=item I don't like the screen colors. How do I change them?
954
955	You can change the screen colors at run-time using F<~/.Xdefaults>
956	resources (or as long-options).
957
958	Here are values that are supposed to resemble a VGA screen,
959	including the murky brown that passes for low-intensity yellow:
960

978
979	=item What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour?
980
981	Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the
982	BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following
983	question) there are two standard values that can be used for
984	Backspace: C<^H> and C<^?>.
985
986	Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian
987	policy of using C<^?> when unsure, because it's the one only only correct
988	choice :).
989
990	Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value
991	of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't
992	started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the
993	system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will
994	be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting).
995
996	For starting a new rxvt-unicode:
997
998	# use Backspace = ^H
999	$ stty erase ^H
1000	$ @@RXVT_NAME@@
1001
1002	# use Backspace = ^?
1003	$ stty erase ^?
1004	$ @@RXVT_NAME@@
1005
1006	Toggle with "ESC[36h" / "ESC[36l" as documented in @@RXVT_NAME@@(7).
1007
1008	For an existing rxvt-unicode:
1009
1010	# use Backspace = ^H
1011	$ stty erase ^H
1012	$ echo -n "^[[36h"
1013
1014	# use Backspace = ^?
1015	$ stty erase ^?
1016	$ echo -n "^[[36l"
1017
1018	This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but
1019	if you use Backspace = C<^H>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value
1020	properly reflects that.
1021
1022	The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem.
1023	To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete
1024	key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute
1025	(ESC[3~) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo.
1026
1027	Some other Backspace problems:
1028
1029	some editors use termcap/terminfo,
1030	some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H,
1031	GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help.
1032
1033	Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner.
1034
1035	=item I don't like the key-bindings. How do I change them?
1036
1037	There are some compile-time selections available via configure. Unless
